Lloyd George Holds Better
Quit if Delegates Continue
Petty Fussing France and
Russia Quarrel, and Settle
Object to Japs and
Rumania.
GENOA, April 11. (By Associated
Press). At this afternoon's meeting
of thn principal conference committee,
which is to consider Russian affairs.
Foreign Minister t'hitcherin of Russia
protested against tho presence of th
kumantnn and Japanese delegates, be
cause Rumania was occupying lies
sarabla and Japan was occupying; por
tions or Siberia. .
Premier Facta of Italy, who was
presiding over the committee declined
to consider the Russian protest, giving
as his reason that all the countries in
vited to the conference had a right to
be represented on its committees.
The opposition to the presence of
the delegates from the two countries
was an outgrowth of the Franco
Russian incident at the opening ses
sion of the conference. M. Bartnotj of
France and more especially M. Then
nys for Belgium, placed themselves in
opposition to the German and Russian
representatives being admitted to the
principal committee while the repre
sentatives of the smaller countries
which fought with the allies were ex
cluded. Premiers Facta and Lloyd George
and Signor Schanzer maintained it .
would be impossible not to permit the
Russians and the Germans to be repre
sented on the committee to deal chief
ly with the problems affecting Ger
many and Russia.
Premier Theunys in his argument
said the Germans were unworthy of
taking part in the work of a commit
tee of such importance In association
with the representatives of honorable
countries.
The discussion became so heated
that Mr. Lloyd George declared em
phatically that if such an Intransigeant
spirit was going to prevail it might be
as well immediately to break up the
conference, the principal object oj
which was to re-admit Russia and Ger.
many to the European family.
The work of conciliation undertaken
by Premier Facta and 8lgnor Schanzer
was finally successful.
As originally planned the committee
comprised British, French, Italian,
Belgian, Japanese. German and Rus
sian delegates. In addition, represen
tatives of Poland, Roumanla. Switzer
land and Sweden were admitted thin
afternoon after the morning's argu
ment.
GENOA. April 11. (By, Associated
Press). Consideration of the Russian
question by the International economic
and financial conference began today
with the meeting of the Russian com
mission appointed yesterday by the
conference chairman. Premier Facta
of Italy.
The clash between the Russians and
French at the opening session yester
day still was the subject, of excited
comment ns the delegates gathered
today. Allied diplomats believe that
only the prompt intervention of Prime
Minister Lloyd George of Great Bri
tain and the firm attitude of the chair
man averted a break which would bare
seriously affected the coming delibera
tions. '
Announcement by George Chitcher

that only 1671 paid any penalty.
They know that out ot that number
only 757 received penitentiary or re-(
formatory sentences. , They , know
that the operations ot Chicago's legal
machinery, controlled by the bench
and bar, placed on the streets ot Chi
cago 236 more criminals than the
snme machinery sent to prison last
year. Knowledge of this fact brings
dismay to responsible citizens and
rejoicing to the hearts of the crooks."
Mr. Chamberlain declared that
"part ot the trouble Is the namby
pamby, sickening sentimentality tor!
outluws convicted of crlmfl."
